I experienced the most excruciating pain ever, for over a week and was told on 2 occasions at 2 other hospitals that I had an avulsion fracture of my shoulder. When I was seen by one of the Orthopaedic Specialists at Stepping Hill they immeditely confirmed the diagnosis as Calcification Tendonitis and proceeded to give me a steroid injection. The consultant kindly booked me into their already fully booked clinic 1 week later and gave me another steroid injection which helped reduce the pain enormously. I then had a Barbotage procedure 2 months later and now 6 months after this,my shoulder has fully recovered. I could never thank this consultant enough, they were always so busy in their fully booked clinics. the consultant never appeared to have the assistance of other doctors but yet was professional and efficient in every way. Thank you.
